    Nah, he is just a rich narcissist. My pet theory is that he thinks he can bully his way out without repercussions and that he sees himself as cunning while the whole userbase is a herd of sheep to be tamed into submission.

      Well honestly, I think he’s mostly going to get away with it. There will be some repercussions, but Reddit won’t be shut down and the normies that stick around will probably actually be the more profitable less tech-savvy users. Sure it will change the culture of the site and many long-time users will leave, but there will be others to fill that void over time. The enshitification process will continue, but the masses won’t really care.
